Jane Fonda wasn’t being polite when she challenged his answer to her question - repeatedly ! She asked him what was the difference from the brotherhood that Christians feel towards all human beings and the brotherhood / fellowship that Christians feel towards other Christians . When the Archbishop politely explained the difference as sharing in the faith ( hopefully discipleship to Jesus Christ) , she challenged his answer repeatedly because she didn’t like his answer . That was extremely rude. I don’t care that Jane Fonda didn’t like his answer . Would he be the Archbishop of Canterbury if he believed that every religion was as good as another . I’m sure that Jane Fonda has never studied scripture whatsoever . If one actually studies the scriptures of every religion , one will understand the similarities and the differences. One would also be more respectful of others’ religions, unlike Jane Fonda, who comes across as being superficial in order to push for her agenda. I don’t believe that she is serious about any religion . My friends who are Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist, follow their faith devoutly .
